Pragmatic public servant to my core, I put citizens before self and my life on the line for our country and community for three decades. - Too many hardworking families like the one I grew up in are really struggling. We need a strong, credible voice calling out what we need to fix so people can build better lives for themselves in mid-Michigan. I pay attention to my bills, what’s happening in our schools, neighborhoods, and local economy. I know the problems holding people back from getting ahead, and I’m ready to solve them. I have the courage, character, and mission-focus to rise above partisan politics and extremism, and get Lansing working better to make life more affordable, safe, and free for Michiganders. As I’ve done all my life, I’ll be involved in the community and work with folks of all political stripes to get real things done for everyone I’m sworn to serve.
- If you work hard, you should be able to afford a good life for yourself and family. My top priority is to make your life more affordable and our region more attractive for better-paying jobs. As State Senator, I'll fight for these priorities to put dollars back in pockets of our working families hit hardest by tariffs and soaring costs. -Expand the Working Families Tax Credit -Establish a Working Parents Tax Credit to help offset child care costs -Expand Free School Meals & PreK -Continue Rollback of the unfair retirement tax -Lower prescription drug prices -Expand Affordable Housing I’ll fight to bring home good-paying jobs, and ensure we have affordable paths to get the education and skills training needed for these jobs.
